Answer : Option B
Explanation :
Precipitation takes place when temperature of moisture in air suddenly increases. Precipitation is the falling of water from the sky in different forms. They all form from the clouds which are raised about 8 to 16 kilometers (4 to 11 miles) above the ground in the earth’s troposphere. Precipitation takes place whenever any or all forms of water particles fall from these high levels of the atmosphere and reach the earth surface. The drop to the ground is caused by frictional drag and gravity.
